Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to show that, for R⊂Q, the R-completion of the preceding chapters is a localization with respect to a set of primes, and that therefore various well-known results about localizations of simply connected spaces remain valid for nilpotent spaces (i.e. spaces for which, up to homotopy, the Postnikov tower can be refined to a tower of principal fibrations).
